Thanks for your comment. I will incoporate this into the next version. Any
other comments on this patch?
BTW, I have two other questions:
1. If this patch is accepted, do we also need any document? IMO, maybe
gdb user manual needed to be updated to reflect this feature. But I am
not sure which section? What about gdb internal? Do we need to update
that too?
2. As you might know, dfp for gcc is also under development. And my patch
depends on the availablity of that? How did gdb handle this kind of
situation before? Did we need to wait until dfp is ready for gcc?
Thanks and Best Regards
